I'm sure The Colbert Report will get around in somehow. And if not, I think Stephen running as an independant might actually be funnier! I can imagine him creating his own party with an awesome name, slogan and manifesto :D Ah that sucks. I’m sure The Colbert Report will get around in somehow.

For one thing, I thought Stephen seemed kind of exhausted on Monday and Tuesday, possibly due to running around in S.C. the previous weekend--I feel kind of guilty laughing at someone who's killing themselves to make me laugh. I hope he takes the stike period to get some rest. I also agree that his satire will be sharper now that his character has been faced with this affront. Evidently his strategy running as a 'favorite son' was to talk up S.C.'s shrimp and peaches. I'd rather hear him light into both Reps and Dems with a *vengence* now. I can't wait. As for the criteria used to exclude him: sounds like the idea was one had to be either serious (Gravel, Kucinich) or viable (in the front of the pack), and they deemed Stephen neither.

They're acting like he's a huge threat to the Presidency, and he's not. He's just having some fun. I highly doubt he'd win the Presidency anyway. I mean, we're a huge demographic, but I can't believe we're THAT huge. They sound like a bunch of douchbags down there. :'( I’m so disappointed in them.

Although it surely wouldn't get Colbert on the ballot, it would most definitely give Edwards a HUGE Colbert bump.

And you call yourself Americans... There's nothing more American than Stephen Colbert -- this just goes to show that he is not, in face, SC's Favorite Son. Shame on you, SC Dems!

And you call yourself Americans…

There’s nothing more American than Stephen Colbert — this just goes to show that he is not, in face, SC’s Favorite Son.

At least Stephen will make his rejection funny. Assuming he even gets the chance to do that, given the impending strike. Does this mean my Colbert '08 shirt is obsolete now?
